Police and Fire Departments Share Resources

The Burlington Police Department's Traffic Division recently donated two SafeGuard pediatric ambulance transport seats to the Fire Department. The two seats were obtained by the police department through grant funding from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security Highway Safety Division.

These seats fasten easily to the existing ambulance stretcher. They also have a pull strap which automatically adjusts the harnesses to the correct height of the child as they are tightened. They accommodate a child from 22 to 100 pounds. One seat was purchased for each of the Fire Department ambulances.
